As the hottest new currency in WOTLK Classic Phase 4, Emblem of Frost fuels Inferno’s upgrades. You’ll need to get Emblem of Frost ASAP in Icecrown Citadel for important gear. This will be key to success against bosses in Heroic dungeons such as Lady Deathwhisper and Lich King.
But with the release of the new raid’s schedule, the amount of time you have to get those Emblems and actually bring us lucky gear will be significantly reduced. But don’t worry. Although Blizzard removed some features, they added others. Savvy players can still take advantage of these recent changes to maximize your gear as quickly as possible.
A quick recap before we talk about the changes. We can get Emblem of Frost from 10 and 25 player Icecrown Citadel raids, Vault of Archavon, and daily and weekly quests.
Once you’ve farmed enough Emblems, you can head to Vendor Horde and Silver Enclave at Sunreaver’s Sanctuary to purchase BiS 264 Items. For example, Purified Lunar Dust and Corroded Skeleton Key on top of Trinket.
How To Farm Emblem Of Frost?
So you might be wondering how we actually grow those Emblem of Frost. We can get Emblem of Frost from the 10 and 25 player Icecrown Citadel raid quest. You can also get them from Heroic Daily Quests, which work just like the previous stage’s Daily Quests.
Plus, you can get Emblems from Vault of Archavon, as well as new weekly raid quests. There will be raid missions every week, go out and kill specific raid bosses, and ICC specific missions to complete in raids each week. In total, at least 104 Emblems are available for farming each week. So take at least three weeks to complete your gear upgrades.
Emblems Changes
So let’s talk about the changes to Emblem of Frost in Phase 4, and how we can take advantage of them.
More Time To Farm Emblems
In fact, they did not add Heroic mode until just over two months into Phase 4. This means players have a few months to farm Emblem of Frost for items. You’ll need a full week to farm Lich King weapons at item level 217 before even taking on Lich King yourself.
So, from weekly missions to ICC raids, you have to be very careful with every Raid Lockout. Each ICC of 10 and 25 players gives a maximum of 25 Emblems of Frost. So you really can’t miss a lock in either mode.
Another key is completing both 10 and 25 player Vault of Archavon raids each week. Toravon Ice Watcher can drop item level 251 and 264 gear. This can save you up to two weeks of Emblem farming time.

Raid Missions Are Easier
The second big change is that weekly raid missions are easier than ever. It’s also one of the best sources for free Emblem of Frost.
Plus, Archmage Lan’dalock sends you to assassinate one of the 12 raid bosses each week. It’s worth it too, as you’ll get a generous amount of WOTLK Classic Gold and 5 Emblems of Frost. Many of these tasks will be trivial for at least the first few weeks.
Of course, we also can’t forget ICC weekly quest, which is one of five quests where Emblems can be farmed. This is usually something as simple as keeping a specific mob alive during a fight with Lady Deathwhisper. Your reward will be an extra 5 Emblems of Frost, and the chance to get more WOTLK Classic Gold and even BoE Epics.
Titan Rune Gamma Is Coming
The final and biggest Emblem change is that Titan Rune Gamma is coming. And the original Sarah Knight has also undergone a tremendous change in the original game.
They will obliterate daily quests in Phase 4, although Blizzard has just re-added them. This means you can continue to earn 2 Emblems of Frost and a Bounty Satchel with 3 bonus Emblems each day.
Also, we have a new vendor related to Titan Rune Gamma, similar to this Sidereal Essence vendor. At this new vendor, you’ll be able to get raw Primordial Saronite directly with the new Defiler’s Scourgestone. This means Primordial Saronite from Emblems will be much less profitable than before.
That’s all the changes for Emblems of Frost in WOTLK Classic Phase 4. Hope this guide helps you get off to a better start in Phase 4. Good luck.
